Title: Carter X 441-S
Post by: SJS68 on November 12, 2022, 05:48:57 PM
Hi all,

Just wondering how hard should it be to fit this pump (441-s) to a 428CJ? When the bolts get a little over half way in, they get incredibly tight. I haven't forced them as the pressure is so tight/hard I think that they strip. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

Normal in the sense that they are frequently stripped. If you try to install with eccentric in full position (TDC or TDC +1) there is a lot of pressure on the arm
you are missing a 4 (4441s)

Thanks for the heads up, I thought that was the case.
